Perhaps take a look a few pages back, before I played gigglesticks (thank you summer) and took a crack at helping someone to see an issue from an entirely alien light, in response to their justification for some dietary right.
I think that "the morality of food" as important as some may find it - is more often a fairly shallow exploration of "serious 1st world problems". That's right, I'm actively and strongly suggesting that the experience of anyone who has ever agonized over whether they should have the foie gras or the tofu salad -and which is the more moral decision- is being a self absorbed cunt. I can solve all dietary conundrums of this sort with one fell swoop - by giving all of their liver and curdled beans to someone who actually has a pressing food related issue - namely those who have neither (and often so that we can have either).
So obviously, between deeply exploring such an important issue - I take the time to make jokes. Don't let that fool you into thinking I'm not interested in the serious discussion, I very much am.
